The Kinks - Denmark Street: chords

 G                     C
Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
 G                         C
Just round the corner from old Soho
  D                        G
There's a place where the publishers go
                         C
If you don't know which way to go
     G                   C
Just open your ears and follow your nose
            D                        G
'Cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
                   C         G          C
You can hear that music play anytime on everyday
D             G
Every rhythm, every way
             F              C
You go to a publisher and play him your song
            G                       C
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long
    D             C               G
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'

G
You've got a tune it's in your
head you want to get it placed
        E7                A
So you take it down to a music man just
    D7               G
to see what he will say
G
He says "I hate the tune,
I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do
      E7                      A
I'll sign you up and take it round the street
     D                    G
and see if it makes the grade
         A
And you might even hear it played on the
 D
rock 'n' roll hit parade"

G                     C          G
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear
       C
that heavy beat
         D                          G
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
          F          C          G       F
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear
        C
that music play
D             G
Every rhythm, every way
